Overview

The Cerebrospinal Fluid Laboratory is an international collaborative research site dedicated to investigation of the underlying biomechanical and hydrodynamic mechanisms responsible for pathologies of the cerebrospinal and cerebrovascular systems.

Purpose

  1. foster collaboration and discussion between cerebrospinal fluid and cerebrovascular researchers
  2. provide in vivo and in vitro experimental data to computational researchers
  3. increase interest in cerebrospinal fluid and craniospinal disorder research
